The November 2026 photos show Pine Ville @ AMK with fully painted towers, roofed linkways and a surfaced frontage road. Landscaping and finishing work are now the main activity on site. Key collection is still projected for Q2 2027, roughly five to seven months away. That quarter comes from HDB’s notice, which, as I wrote in Exciting Update: We’re Moving into Pine Ville @ AMK Sooner Than Expected!, moved the Probable Completion Date from 3Q 2027 to 2Q 2027.
All five photos in this update were taken by Mirza, a fellow Pine Ville future resident. Thank you, Mirza, for sharing them with the neighbours.
Site snapshot — November 2026
- Tower exteriors: painted brown, white and teal, with no facade scaffolding visible
- Roof edges: orange safety netting still on some blocks
- Linkways: roofing sheets visible on the frames
- Frontage road: black surface with lane markings
- Earthworks: excavators still working, with exposed slopes and stacked materials
- Landscaping: young trees staked, shrubs and seedlings staged for planting, turf laid in places
- Ground floor: white-painted openings, unfinished floors, fire-fighting signage going up
The towers: exterior work looks finished
In my 27 May 2026 construction update, the towers were at full height with cladding complete on every visible block. November is about paint and detail. Photo 02 shows the brown, white and teal scheme running from the ground floor to the roof with no scaffolding on the facades, and Photo 01 shows the same across the wider cluster.
Some roof edges still carry orange safety netting, so roof-level finishing is not fully closed out.
Ground level: linkways, paving and the last of the earthworks
Photo 03 looks down a long paved ramp between hoardings. In the foreground, roofing sheets now cover the linkway frames. In May, those frames were standing but unfinished, so this is a visible step forward. On the left, a cut slope of exposed earth is partly covered with a silver tarpaulin, with an orange excavator at its base. White bulk bags, pipes and steel railings on the right mark a work area that is still being laid out.
Photo 04 is the ground floor of one block. The openings are painted white and the floor inside still looks unfinished. A red sign reads “To Breeching Inlet”, which marks the fire brigade’s connection point to the building’s fire-fighting water system.
Landscaping: planting is the main activity now
The first trees arrived on a flatbed truck in June, which I covered in The Trees Have Arrived! Five months later, planting is under way. Photo 05 shows the staging area: blue baskets of seedlings, rows of shrubs still in black polybags along the kerb, and larger trees in grow bags with bamboo stakes on the left. Photo 04 shows young trees already staked in the ground, with turf laid beside them.
A coil of black ducting sits on the paving in Photo 05, which suggests underground services are still being completed in places even as the planting goes in. There is not a single void deck pigeon in any of Mirza’s photos, and I am logging that as a gap in my field research. They are presumably waiting for the tiling like the rest of us.
May versus November: what changed
The table compares what I recorded on 27 May 2026 with what these November photos show. Where a row depends on a single photo, I have said so.
| Item | 27 May 2026 | November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Tower exteriors | Full height, cladding complete | Painted, no facade scaffolding visible |
| Linkways | Frames standing, unfinished | Roofing sheets visible (Photo 01, 03) |
| Frontage road | Base layers, no surface | Surfaced, lane markings visible (Photo 01) |
| Ground-floor works | Scaffolding on at least one block | Openings painted, no scaffolding in Photo 04 |
| Landscaping | Listed as remaining work | Trees staked, shrubs staged, turf laid |
| Earthworks | Exposed earth and machinery across the podium | Reduced, but still active (Photo 01, 03) |
What these photos do not show
The photos cover the outside of the blocks and some of the ground level. They tell me nothing about the inside of the flats, the lifts or the inspections that must be passed before keys are handed over. In my November 2025 investigation, I listed a Building Service Centre office appearing at a void deck as one of my own unofficial signals, and I expected it around October to November 2026. I did not see one in these photos, but they do not cover every void deck, so I am not reading anything into its absence.
Working assumption
Q2 2027 remains the working date for key collection. Nothing in these photos contradicts it, but exterior progress alone cannot confirm it. The exact appointment details will come from HDB by email and MyHDB, so HDB’s notices remain the final word.
I will keep tracking the site.
